You'll catch a beautiful sunset over the hills, and at night, you'll camp in comfortable tents with the sounds of nature outside. In the morning, you'll see gorgeous views of the peaks and of Mussoorie in the distance. On this route, you visit the Nag Devta temple on Day 2 before beginning your descent. You can expect to be back in Dehradun by 21:00 or 22:00 hrs.
